Re: sputering before starting??? help
Its a fuel problem.. I believe there is a check valve in the fuel pump that keeps the fuel from flowing back in the tank, and one on the return line that keeps fuel in the rail.. If the check valve goes bad then it takes a second for the fuel system to build up pressure..

You have to preform a fuel pressure leak down test. Hook the fuel gauge up and start the car..after you get it running let it sit for a while or overnight and see what the pressure is...if its real low then you will probably need to change the fuel pump out. Im not a honda mechanic but this is a basic feature on most fuel injected cars...
